At one point in his State of the Union address, Joe Biden called for decriminalizing marijuana possession.
Kamala Harris rose from her seat and applauded.
Do you think no one remembers her record in this case?
Biden reiterated in his SOTU speech tonight that no one should go to prison for cannabis use. He touted his administration's moves to evaluate whether federal restrictions on marijuana should be eased.

From Yahoo News, 2022:
As a senator, Harris championed the decriminalization and eventual legalization of marijuana. She signed Senator Cory Booker's marijuana legalization bill in 2017, and has also introduced her own bill to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level.
But as a prosecutor, her record is much more complex. Harris oversaw nearly 1,956 misdemeanor and felony convictions related to marijuana possession, cultivation or sale, according to Reuters.
They think no one remembers anything. They are wrong.
